Snowflakes

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.  Sigh, I don't think we'll be seeing snow here.
So I made some of my own!

I cut a snowy embossed piece into thirds, mounted the pieces on silver foil,
silver heat embossed a greeting and added a die cut snowflake that was 
heat embossed three time.  The little "gems" are actually glitter paper cut with
a paper punch.

Whoa, what a great card! I love the embossed snowflakes and the silver. This design is lovely and the big snowflake is gorgeous. What a great idea to use glitter paper and a punch to make gems. We may get a dusting of snow so it may be a "white" Christmas here.

What a fabulous design Bonnie x. Cutting the pretty embossing folder into thirds looks wonderful and what a beautiful card x. No snow here.....Yet!!

Lovely & classy card!! I also love the idea of making your own gems from glitter paper...super idea! IMHO, snow is highly overrated...beautiful in pictures, but so darn cold and wet! LOL!

It's BEAutiful! You nailed all those challenges...your snowflake is a diecut right?! You're GOOD! We still have snow, although I am not sure it's going to last until Christmas!

Viv said...

No snow here either Bonnie {sighs} but we've been promised some frost so suppose a little bit of white is better than none at all! (Well I think so anyway!)
Beautiful card and that snowflake is fantabulous! x

Gerrina said...

So beautiful how you used the embossed panels! A real festive card! Thank you for joining us at TIME OUT!

TK said...

beautiful, Bonnie, love all the gorgeous shine here! And I might add BRILLIANT to use a punch to get glitter gems :o)

Pat said...

A beautiful card Bonnie and love the embossed snowflake background cut into three panels, and with a gap for the sentiment, a great idea, and love the teal embossed larger die cut snowflake over the top. x

Gorgeous! bonus: you don't have to shovel any of these lovely snowflakes!
Very pretty, Bonnie!

Love the teal snowflake and silver foil linings against the white embossed panel...to me it feels peaceful. And also love the idea of punching centers from glitter paper vs. using a chunky embellishment that requires extra postage(!)

JoAnn said...

Oh, I love your snowflake card with the pops of silver and blue. I like how you divided the embossed piece in thirds. TFS

Sandy said...

So beautiful! Now THIS I think I can do.
Merry Christmas Bonnie -

Beautiful panels of embossing and perfect addition of a few gemstones. No snow here - just pouring rain all day.

Gorgeous snowflake dry embossed panels, Bonnie. Love your die cut snowflake and heat embossed green layers with a pretty bow. Your silver foil framing was a nice shiny touch along with your punched faux gems. TFS my friend...we have had over 4 inches of rain the last 2 days...suppose to get a bit of sun the next few days...definitely NO snow. TFS your beauty Love and Hugs...Nancy

This one is tastefully designed and visually appealing! Love that you embossed the snowflake several times. What patience you have. Beautiful card.

Fabulous design. Wonderful snowflake theme.

Joyce said...

Such a pretty card. I really like your different panels of snowflakes, and how you put your sentiment right in that sweet spot. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.

Dotty Jo said...

Fabulous EF, Bonnie - where's it from??? I'm sure I need to add it to my growing collection! LOL! Thanks for playing at Let's Squash It! Jo x

Great sketch Bonnie - just love your snowflake panels with the die cut snowflake atop!!

BożenA said...

So many snowflakes in one place! I love the idea of dividing the embossed panel into 3 parts. This made the card more attractive. Holidays in Poland were without snow, but for several days we have had a real winter here with snowfall and frost - 14 degrees Celsius. Maybe it will reach you ...?
